K HYMN OF THE DYING FLOWERS.
Hark! hear ye not a melody
Bass mournfully and slow.
From earth up towards the Heaven,
As the autumn breeze# blow?
A murmur as of sadness,
■ And yet as soft and sweet
As when the summer rain drops
On hods of roses heat.
A sound of many voices,
■ That alternate come ami go;
H So many—yet so gentle,
The tones are very low.
It cometli from the dun woods
In twilight's mazy hours,
Ho t< nderly—so mournfully
The hymn of dying Flowers:
Hft~ '-The autumn winds are blowing
H A stronger, colder blast;
The leaves around are falling;
Our time lialh come at last.
Few of us are remaining.
Who in the summer-time
Decked out the forest carpet—
And in the Spring's sweet prime.
44 A few of us have lingered
In our pleasant homes and dear,
Hut now we're passing from them,
As from earth, the passing year.
Ye will not eonie to bury us,
There'll hi* no pageants proud,
Ye'll sing no dirges over us.
Ye w ill not grieve aloud.
4 'For in our very youthfulness
We hardly met your eye:
Ye passed us ever silently—
And often heedless by.
Ye will not heed our voices.
Tlio' they speak unto the heart;
H[ Ye'll hardly even thin A it is
Time life and we should part.
ik ßut adieu to earth and summer,
Adieu to woods and sky!
Our time of life hath ended.
We have naught to do hut die.
We'll hymn t 4 > the Creator
Our joyful song of praise,
And the very winds of Autumn
Our requiem shall raise."

■ The Ncw Orleans papers contain a number I
■i'fintvßiing letters from Monlery, the latest
■ tiing down to the Ist inst. Tiiey wore receiv-
Bed by tho steamer Mclvim. A correspondent
B of the Picayune, under duto of the 25th uli.,
fl writes as follows:
■ Gen. Taylor arrived at Sultilio day before
■ yesterday, (23d instant,)escorted byonctquad
■ run of Col. May's horse, having left one squad
■ ron iu Saltillo. The general succeeded in cap
■ luring one hundred pack mules, with their car-
H goes, consisting of subsistence stores intended
■ for Santa Anna's army at San Luis Potosi.—
H The squadron left arc said to be in pursuit of
four hundred mules, loaded also with the same j
I cargoes.
Col. May had a very severe fall at Saltillo, j
■ by his horse tripping on tire pavement wliich
I inclines towards the centre from each side.— j
B He is doing well, and will be ready for duty in '
Ha few days.
y ■ Santa Anna is said lO he vory L>trong in Sail
B Luis, having some 30,000 volunteers, beside;
B his regulars. Reports, liowovor, are conflict- 1
'H ing. The Mexicans are disappearing duily
B from tliis neighborhood—no doubt to join San-
Bta Anna. The gumblers are collecting liere in
B great numbers from Matarnoras. A private
B belonging to the Louisville Legion was found
B murdered at the edge of the town this inorn-
B ing. The Ith infantry occupy the plnza, and
B are tlio only troops belonging to Gen. Worth's
B division left here. Theoflicers who returned
B with Gen. Taylor report having met with ice
B in Saltillo, whilst here we have all the eviden-
B ccs of a tropical climate around us. The health
B of the soldiery is generally good; some fever
B and ague, however, is still found amongst
B thorn. The volunteers are gradually perfect-
B ing themselves ill drill, and are mucl) better
calculated for soldiers than upon their arrival.
■ A correspondent of the Delta, under date of
B the 30th, says:
B There is much excitem lit in the city this
B morning, arising from a murder committed last
B night at Armstrong's Hotel. A party of Ten-
B nesseeans from Uje camp came into town to
B take supper at if e hotel, and whilst eating and
drinking, a table was turned over, breaking u
number of plates and glasses. Armstrong came
into the room much excited, and commenced
a tirade of abuse, at the end of which pay was
oflercd him double for all that was destroyed;
but not content with that, lie called in the
guard, and, after pointing out a very estimable
young man, by tlio namo of Forrest, said,
"There's thed—d rascal who broke inv dishes;''
but before the sergeant of the guard could reach
him, Armstrong pulled out a pistol and shot
him dead, and escaped befoie his companions
or the guard could put their hands upon him.
He was, however, subsequently ariested.
Two Frenchmen, in addition to the "big
bug" Mexicans, have been ariested on a
charge of tampering with our soldiers, and of
fering thorn inducements to desert. There will
be a pretty hanging match here some of tlioso
days. A volunteer lieut. colonel dressed him
self in a privates'# clothes, and was readily ac
cepted as a voluntario, and given an order on a
man about 10 leagues distant, for tho money
and horse promised liiin. The one who guvu
tho order was immediately arrested, and the
colonel staited for his reward, but not alone—
he took 20 good men with him, and will doubt
less roturri iu the courso of a day, with several
of tlioso who profcrrcd tlio Mexican to the A- .
merienn sorviee, and also, with tho individuals
who pay out the Mexican dollars.
Tho tablos have been turned on tho Mexi
cans, and for those who liavo been assassinat
ed ol the volunteers, a double number of the
enemy have suffered within a day or two. It
is reported this morning, that Gen. Taylor has
ordered the Ist Kentuckians to Cerralvo to
prevent this killing.
The Correspondent of the Delta, under date
of the Ist inst., writes n lengthy letter, from
which we tak<> the following extracts:
The war between the Kentuckians and
Mexicans, as it is familiarly termed, has creat
ed no little excitement, botii in town and the i
luimp. It is though t, that net I than forty
"Mexicans have been killed •.vilhiri tho last Cve I
uayp, fifteen ol whom, it in sail, were killed in
one duy, and within the s ;o pc of one mile.— j
from this you wiii s.-a that the boys are deter
r.'iino(. I •. frj \ • and to take revenge fur the as- i
BSi-tiiisi'ioii of their comrades.

morrow. I should not exactly say trial, for it
will be more in the shupo of a court of inquiry
at first. I saw this young alcalde this morn ng
iri prison. He is a young and very interesting
man, and was weighed down to the ground
| with irons, not that they fear his escape, hut to
I deter others from following in his footsteps.— I
At first, it was thought that hut few men were {
engaged in the business; hut it is now clearly ;
ascertained that many of the principal men in ■
the place have had a finger in the pio; and !
since the first arrest, many of the first families
of Monterey have left, and tlio population of j
the place has decreased in that time nearly 1,- j
000. The Ith regiment has lost many men ;
by desertion, and 1 have since ascertained that i
the number I spoke of before—forty—as liav-1
ing deserted, may ho safely trebled; and all
sinco the 251h September. The regulars have 1
invariably gene to th^pneiny; hut what few of j
the volunteers that have left us sans ceremonie,
have made tracks for a Christmas dinner in tho ;
white settlements. The friends of those arrest- j
od—particularly of the alcalde—fear the worst; j
and if they were hung in the plaza, as Taylor j
threatened, they would not he much surprized.
A train of wagons loaded with provisions ;
started yesterday for Saltillo, escorted by a 1
company of infantry. Our datos Irom Gene- |
ral Worth are as late as the 21th. Everything j
is reported quiet, and the command well satis- 1
! fled with their location. Nothing from Gen.'
i Wool since my last, and I am unable to say ;
whether- he has yet left Monclova for Paris.— J
If he has not he will certainly do it when lie '
gets short of provision# and forage.
It was generally believed yesterday that a
movement would be made in less than ten
I days, originating no doubt from an order fort
i all the infantry to sell their horses, and the'
small number of men who were permitted 10l
leave camp. You may not understand what
the infantry have to do with horses. On the
march from Cumargo here, of those who liavoi
come up since General Taylor did, many of;
j the volunteers, not caring to bring their feet in
contact with the rocky road, supplied them
j selves with horses, varying in prices from tlneo
: to fifteen dollais, and they have retained them '
ever since, to ride to town and to hire to oth-!
! ers for a like purpose. They have been offur
| ing them for sale at every door in Monterey
since yesterday morning, alleging that a move
ment of the ariny demanded it, as they could
not he taken along. But it is known general
ly at this hour that when Captain Rhino ofl'cr
ed the services of his company of rangers to
; Gen. Taylor, they were declined on the ground
j that no movement would be mude until ordcr
,cd from Washington, which the General said
j might not roach him till after the sitting of
i Congress; so you can judge what chance there
is of an early move,
j The weather is lovely at this time, and for- i
j cibly reminds one of the spring-time of year.—
I It is a great climate, and blossoms half-grown,
j and ripe fruit can ho found on the same tree.
| The mail leaves here for Camargo once a
j week. Tuesday, and that is the great dav for
j mailing letters for different parts of the Unit
; ed States.
! THE YEAR 1847. The new year which is
coming in is remarkable for several peculiari
ties which may be considered ]ominou3 by tho
superstitious. An exchange paper sums them
up in the following manner:
"The year begins with Friday and ends with
i Friday—that very unlucky day. Tlio 4li of
July comes on Sunday—very unlucky. For
the first time in the 'recollection of the oldest
inhabitant' there will be no full moon this year
I in the month of February—unlucky month.—
Our national political day begins on Sunday, 1
the 4th of March—unlucky day. There will
he no eclipse visible iri the year—unlucky fur
tho star-gazers. But as an offset for the whole,
January is to be blessed with two full moons,
and March with a like number—this will bo
lucky, arid will perhaps throw light enough
over the dark features of the year to overcome
| all evil prognostications."
THE CAPTURE OF MIDSHIPMAN ROGEP.S
The Picayune, in noticing the capture of Mid
shipman Rogers, by the Mexicans at Vera
Cruz, says:
"One account lias it that lie was chained and
marched off by the Mexicans to the cold and
gloomy castlo of Perote, but this needs con
firmation. An act of the British Consul at
Vera Cruz is mentioned in one of our loiters
whicli does him great credit. It is said that on
j learning that Mr. Rogers was about to be
marched to Perote, he at once started off him
self in quest of him, or else sent the sum of
SIOO, besides refreshments an<l clothing, for
his comfort. It is certain that the gallant
yaung Midshipman, who has thus lost his lib
j erty while performing a hazardous and import
! ant service, was not started off for Pe
rote, whatever may hake since befallen him."
SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE. A letter re
ceived at the Exchange Roadmg Rooms, in this
city, dated Mayaguez, Porto Rico, Dec. J6,
! says:
On the 28th nit. at about 5 P. M. we had a
small shock of an earthquake, which lasted
about forty-five seconds, and though it gave us
! a good shaking, did very little damage. Crock
| ery and glassware suffered to some extent, and
| a few kitchen chimneys did tumble down, one
I of whicli was rather unfortunate, as is spoiled
tho wodding dinner of our interpreter, (who
was married the same morning,) so that the.
quests were obliged to the kindness of friends
for what they obtained to eat. Again on the
morning of the 9th inst., wo had another short
and sudden shock, but harmless.
Our sugar crop will cornmenee early next'
month, and promises still to he a heavy one.—
Coffee is plenty, with a limited demand at;
11-2 cents. American produce sufficiently'
plenty fur tlio demand, with the exception ofi
I flour, meal and laid.
MORE TROUBLE. Tho Van Burcn, Ark.,
I Intelligencer of the 12th inst. says:
j "We learn that some one or more of the
i volunteers, so supposed, wiio are now stationed
I at Fort Gibson, have recently killed twoCher
; okees. The Chciokens are greatly excited,
i and we hear that they loudly demand redress'"
ROBBERY. OH Friday night last, about half
i past 1 o'c'bck, the book store of Mr. L. Mc-
Kec, at H igeistown, was entered and robbed
of money to tlio amount of s9l.
THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1846.
NEW AND VALUABLE DISCOVERY. We
loam from tho Camden Democrat, tint Isaac
Mickle, Esq., of that city, has succeeded in ap
plying the new gun cotton to the propulsion of
machinery, in a manner which promises lo be
ol great use to mechanics. The engine iscori
| structed somewhat upon tho plan of tho ordi
nary horizontal steam engines, only there are
; two cylinders, one working in tlio other so as
| to afford the necessary connection with the
open air, as soon as tho explosion has driven
the piston home, and the machine requires the
j reverse action. The gun cotton—or common
; gun powder, as the case may he—for either
will answer equally well—as ignited by elec
| tricity engendered mid applied in a novel inau
i man; so that two of the most powerful agents
known to man, are employed together in th.i
! production of the desired result.
MARINE DISASTERS. A slip from tlio Sa
-1 vannah Georgian furnishes tho following wa
j rino disaster.
The ship Edwin, Pierce, from Providence,
j arrived at this port on Saturday. Captain P.
] reports that on the evening of tho 22d inst. t
| 10 o'clock, lat. 30 20, lon. 19 40, ran into the 1
hark Neversink, (of Newark N. J,) Captain '
| Hall, from Now Orleans, hound to Sligo!
; Island, (Ireland,) with a cargo of flour and
i com, and cut her down to the water's edge.— 1
j The E. lai' by her all night, and 1 o'clock next
I morning, Capt. Hall and crew abandoned tho
; N., and went on hoard tlio ship, and were i
brought to this port. She was insured in Now
Yoik for $15,000. Tlio Edwin had her cut
water carried away, and lost her bowsprit.
DEMAND FOR VESSELS. A letter from New-
York, in the Philadelphia Sun, says:
t "The demand for vessels is most extraordi
nary. Nineteen pence sterling has been paid j
for the freight of Corn to Liverpool, and ss. 3d. 1
1 for Fleur; ss. 6. is now asked for tho latter, !
and 20d. for tlio former. Six shilling a barrel >
is offered lot vessels to go to Philadelphia and
load with Flour for Liverpool."
MORE REGULATIONS FOR THE ARMY. It
i is stated that no more volunteers are to he
' called out, but the enlistment of ten regiments
of regulars, to serve during the war, and to bo
commanded by officers appointed by the Ex
ecutive, and to be subject to the articles of war,
is to take place. Three Brigadier Generals
: and one Major General, will also be provided
i for in the same bili.
PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM. A company of vol
unteers for the Mexican war has been formed
|in Marlinsburg, (Vu.) At a parade held on
! the 22d inst , addresses were made to them by
several gentlemen, and among them, by Chas.
J. Faulkner, Esq, in tho course of whose
speech, ho said:—
I "If any married man present, who had en
gaged, or was about to engago in this service,
hesitated because of those wiio depended on hiin
for support, he would pledge himself that so
long as he had a dollar, they should not want
1 ; for tho necessaries of life, while husbands and
; fathers were perrillmg their lives in the field
of battle."
■ | WAX EXPENSES. The amount of money paid
out of the U. S. Treasury, on account of the
war with Mex'co, from the 6th to the 15th of
December, was two million three hundred and
( thirty-five thousand dollars.
PROMOTED. We LEARN from the Boonsboro'
Odd-Fellow, that George VV. Chambers, one
of the volunteers from that place, has boen
i elected 2d Lieutenant of the company of vol
unteers formed at Martinsburg, Va., for the
Mexican war.
PRINCETON COLLEGE. Rev. John Forsythe,
D. D., lias been elected Professor of Latin anil
. Lecturer on History, in this institution; tho
Rev. Lyman Coleman, Professor of Gorman,
I and Mr. G. W. Giger, formerly of Baltimore,
adjunct Professor of Greek.
HORRIBLE CASUALTY. The Lexington ( Va.)
1 papers state that on the night of the 17th inst ,
i after tho tremendous snow storm which oc-
J earred in that vicinity, tho house of a Mr.
Pettigrew, in the hollows of the House Moun
tain, about seven miles from Lexington, was
burned to the ground. Mr. Pettigrew and ono
of his children were absent from home, but on
, returning in the motuing, found the wife and
i five of the children burned and fiozoii to
death!
PARDON OF THE ANTI-RENTERS. Tlio New
York Truo Sun says: —Our advices from Alba
ny inform us that ono of the first official acts
of Governor Young, after his inauguiation,
will he the pardon of tlio Anti-Renters now in
the State Prison.
PROGRESS OF ST. LOUIS. It is estimated in
the St. Louis Union, that thirty-six hundred
good and substantial buildings have been erect
;j ed by the corporation of St. Louis within tlio
' two last years.
j THE ALLEGED MASSACRE IN CALIFORNIA.
j A writer in the Boston Atlas has been disseqt-
I ing that Mexican story about the 150 "sol
j diers" of the North American navy, at the Ci
ty of the Angels; and the result of hi* opeia
| lion is, that lie docs not believe a word of it.
EPISCOPAL CLERGY. It appears by the list
!of clergy in the Church Almanac for 1341,
I that there arc now in tlio Episcopal Church of
I the United States, one thousand three iiundred
, j anil seventy-three. The number of candi
'j d-iles for holy orders is ona iiundrod and eigh

I Of this digressing disease, which is the comniou re

1 brief description, for innnx reasons, can lie given here,
j The complaint comes on gradually. Il begins by a too
i hast) discharge of semen in copulative and passionate
I dreams. Such emissions being too hasty, have no
; power, while the erections are feeble, imjicrfcct and
E soon over. As the disorder grow s worse, the discharges
or cnoftsions become more easily excited and frequent,
often brought on by lascivious ideas, or bv merely
j touching the part. In this deplorable case, the emis
sions take place without nnv pleasure and without
! erection, and in this debilitated and sensitive state of
i tin organs the din till effects of pollution so ruinous to
1 health, take place day and night. Pale, emaciated and
. ; weak, the unhappy victim of artificial gratification
complains of pain in the head and hack, has a languid
look, dimness of sight, flushing of tin face when s|mK
-j en to, low ness of spirits, and a vague dread of soim
{ thing, often starting with terror at a sudden sight or
sound, lie also loaths .-oci< tv, from an innate sense of
shame, and feels a dislike to all bodily and mental ex
i crtion. Distressed, and bis mind lived upon hi* inisc
, rics, lie slyly searches i very source that promise* to
j lief. Ashamed to make known his situation to his
i I friend-', or those, who, by education, stud) and praeti-
I cal know ledge, arc able to relieve him, he applies to
the ignorant and designing, who filch him of his poeu
■ uiary substance, ami instead of restoring him to health,
• leave him to sigh over his galling disappointment; the
last scene of tin drama winds up with mania, entalep

Mercurial Diseases, or any other complaints arising
from impurities of the Blood, are requested to read
the following testimonials, in proof of the wonderful
i properties of the above named medicine.
I BEAD! READ!! READ!!!
V\ e, the undersigned, having visited Mr. Isaac
Brooks, Jr at the office of Messrs. Rotvnnd & Wal
ton, 3<6 Market street, Philadelphia, consider his
case the most remarkable one we have ever witness
ed or heard of. His c,isease was SCROFULA,and
terrible must have been bis twi Ive years'conflict
with the destroyer!
His PALATE, the ENTIRE ROOF of his MOUTH, his
NOSE, Upturn LIP, and lowei lid of the RIGHT EYE
have been destroyed, his P'ACK nearly eaten up, and
part of the JAW BONE carried away. And yet we
, eaii girt no description of his case.
Mr. 8. informs us that in January last, the wbolg
l interior ol his mouth, as well as most of his face,
was a mass of deep and painful uleers!
On the 14th of Jauuaiy last, he commenced taking
DtHULLEN'SINDIAN VEGETABLE PANACEA,
which checked the disease in a Itw days, and from
i that lime the cure has progressed without intermis
sion.
N> w fl sh has supplied the place ofthe deep uleers,
and though otdly disfigured, his face is round, and
his general health is restored.
We art; assured thatin the treatment of Mr. Brooks'
ease, no M ERCURIALB, Ointments, or UAOBTIC ap
plications have been used,—in fact, the PANACEA
ALONE lias wrought this wonderful change.
